MONSTERPALOOZA! PRODUCTION UPDATE! BACKERKIT???
about 1 year ago

Hey Gang!
April and May were two crazy months. The whole situation with the tariffs really impacted me, less so MONSTORS, but my full time job is in consumer products, and my workload dropped by about half, so it was a bit of a scramble to figure some stuff out.
BUT I always find a way to plug along, but MONSTORS backerkit really took a back seat for a bit, and I appreciate everyones' patience with that.
The tariffs WONT affect anyone who pledged to the Kickstarter. Best case, these figures are through production and ready to hop into a container and onto a ship in December, and Im hoping things are more under control by then... if not, I'll make it work.
ANYWAYS, I know everyones heard a billion things about tariffs, and that's all I have to say about that, and now... FUN STUFF!
MONSTERPALOOZA!!!
Next weekend, May 30th thru June 1st, Pasadena Convention Center, Booth #60, we'll be at Monsterpalooza with a bunch of Monstors stuff for show and tell!
https://www.monsterpalooza.com/
For ANYONE who backed the kickstarter and can make the show, I'll have a surprise thing to show yah at the show. And AFTER the show, I'll make a proper update and share with all of you! But I just dont have the time to get that out to everyone before then, so this is my compromise.
SO, if you're in the area, and can make it to the show, DO IT! And as a bonus I'll show yah something really really really cool (I THINK) and everyone else will get to see it sometime in June, which will basically be a MEATY production update... YUSSS!!!
Thanks again everyone for all the support and patience, AGAIN, but man this has been a "unique" year...
Thanks Gang!

Hey Gang!
Trying not to spam everyone, but saw a recent Kickstarter for a comic that seems 100% up our alley, MOONMAN ZERO!
If you're a fan of late 80's and 90's properties like Battle Toads, Earthworm Jim, and Bucky O'Hare, and you like your superheroes mixed in with a little bit of Mar's Attacks, this is FOR YOU!
The first 13 pages were recently posted, and this looks super freaking fun:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/blakewright/moonman-zero-the-graphic-novel/posts/4346445
AND THIS IS GONNA BE 75 FREAKING PAGES!!!
The creator and writer, Blake Wright, is the Creator / Editor in Chief for TOYCOLLECTR Magazine, so seeing him do his own IP is amazing.
Id personally love to get this comic, so please check it out, and donate and share if you dig it as much as I do!
Thanks Gang!

FINALIZING BACKERKIT & BBTS
over 1 year ago
– Mon, Mar 31, 2025 at 11:01:12 AM
Hey Gang!
I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that Im STILL plugging away on BackerKit stuff (WHY IS THIS SO HARD!?!?!) and while that's evolving, I wanted to make sure I could set up BigBadToyStore with what they need to keep their machine moving as well and not hold up their operation.
So you'll be seeing items going up on BBTS sooner / faster than the BackerKit going live, BUT BackerKit will be going LIVE, SOON, in APRIL! FINALLY!!! (I PROMISE THIS TIME!)
So if you see things go up for sale on BBTS FIRST, fear not, BackerKit is right around the corner!
Thanks Gang!
